Dow: WSJ pC1 "For the Dow, the Quietest 6 Day Streak" by Kristina Peterson says across stocks, bonds and commodities, the big swings of just a few weeks ago have evaporated, leaving markets to muddle between small gains and losses for most of March.

WSJ pC5 "GE & Intel Rise; Boeing Declines 1%" by Donna Kardos Yesalavich says stocks rose broadly, with GE and Alcoa among the gainers as the Fed. Res. reiterated its easy money stance. GE was the Dow's best performer after its cfo said it would raise its dividend next year. The stock's gain also came as JPMorgan raised its '10 earnings estimates for GE. Intel was also strong up 4% after it officially launched its Xeon chip aimed at the server market. Alcoa climbed 2.2% as the materials sector gained on strength in commodities. Keeping the gains in check, Boeing fell 1% after Air Berlin said it has reduced its aircraft orders to Boeing, citing changed market conditions in the aviation industry and its increased focus on short and medium haul air traffic. Home Depot was also weak after a decline in housing starts. GE is charted under "Good News" saying though sort on specifics like price and timing, GE says it expects to raise its dividend next year as was Intel as it unveiled its Xeon chip.

Fin Times p22 "GE leads Dow higher after broker note" by Masa Sedarevic says US stocks rallied as the Fed Res announced its widely expected decision to keep interest rates unchanged. GE led the Dow higher gaining 4.5% to $18.07 its highest price in 2 years on positive comment and news that it would resume paying a dividend to shareholders in '11.

USA Today p4B "Markets climb as rates stay unchanged" by Bloomberg says the S&P 500 hit a 17 month high Tes. as the Fed said it will leave its main interest rate near zero for an extended period to safeguard the economic recovery.

AJC pA17 "Fed strategy sends stocks higher" by AP says the Fed. Reserve's mildly upbeat take on the economy and its plans to hold interest rates low gave stocks a lift. The Dow rose for its 6th straight gain.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 10,685.98 up 43.83 or 0.41% from Monday's close of 10,624.159. For the year the Dow is up 2.47%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 23 gained, Pfizer was unchanged and 6 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was GE $18.07 +0.78 4.51% 227,591,416 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $68.72 -0.68 0.98% 7,489,055 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132319125 unchanged, the trailing P/E ratio is 16.66 up from Tuesday's P/E ratio of 16.59 (year ago it was 24.533) the P/E estimate is 13.56 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 13.56 (year ago it was 11.01) and the current dividend yield is 2.55 down from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.56 (it was 4.20 a year ago).

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1413.96 up 5.80 from Monday's closing Dow numerator of 1,408.16. This is the sum of all 30 closing prices. A short cut to the Dow numerator is to multiply the closing Dow by the Divisor. Now, if you divide the Dow numerator increase of 5.80 for Tuesday by the divisor you get the increase in Tuesday's Dow close of 43.83. A $1 change in the price of any DJIA stock = a 7.56 change in the average.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.13 up 0.20 from Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of $46.94. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 42.08 up 0.22 from Monday's median closing price of 41.86. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $52.85 +0.12 0.23% 4,126,236 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $17.03 +0.18 1.07% 107,209,451 NYSE.

If Tuesday morning before the market opened you had purchased 100 shares of each of the Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 shares (assuming you could buy fractional shares and assuming no transaction costs) and sold at the close you would have made $570 ($141,390 - $140,820).

Market Watch Tuesday 3/16/10 4:30 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rose on Tuesday, propelling the S&P 500 Index to a fresh 17-month high, after the Federal Reserve said it would keep its key interest rate low for an extended time, supporting a rally in financial shares.The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,159, +8.95, +0.78%) added 8.95 points, or 0.8%, to 1,159.46, its highest finish since early October 2008. Natural-resource companies and financials led the gains that extended to all 10 of the index's industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,378, +15.80, +0.67%) climbed 15.8 points, or 0.7%, to 2,378.01. Zions Bancorp (ZION 22.20, -0.02, -0.09%) and Citigroup Inc. (C 4.04, -0.01, -0.25%) fronted gains among banks after the Fed kept rates near 0% and reiterated low rates remain necessary, despite a recovering economy. While the Fed was widely expected to keep its target rate for overnight loans between zero and 0.25%, analysts combed the central bank's accompanying policy statement for clues as to the timing of future rate-hike moves. Any differences in the Fed's wording that signaled the central bank would hike rates sooner rather than later could have sparked selling of equities, given that higher rates translate to increased borrowing costs and typically hinder economic growth.Strengthening in the final 30 minutes of trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU 10,686, +43.76, +0.41%) extended its winning run to a sixth consecutive session. The blue-chip average rose 43.83 points, or 0.4%, to 10,685.98, with 23 of its 30 components advancing, led by General Electric Co. (GE 18.03, -0.04, -0.22%). Its shares gained 4.5% after the company's CFO said he expects the conglomerate's earnings and dividend to climb next year. Also boosting the Dow, Intel Corp. (INTC 22.06, +0.05, +0.23%) rose 4% after the technology bellwether released its newest server chips. On the New York Stock Exchange, advancers led decliners nearly 3-to-1, with composite trading volume topping 4.5 billion shares. The dollar weakened against the euro after S&P opted not to downgrade Greece, a step the rating agency last month warned was under consideration.The Fed is leaving rates unchanged, but that means they'll eventually go up and markedly so. Ahead of Tuesday's open, the Commerce Department reported new-home construction fell 5.9% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 575,000. The January count was revised up to a pace of 622,000 units. In a separate report, the Labor Department said the price of imports declined 0.3% in February, the first drop in seven months. A standout among retailers was Limited Brands Inc. (LTD 24.71, +1.00, +4.22%) , shares of which rose 4.2%. The company declared a special dividend of $1 a share and said it would repurchase up to $200 million in stock. The dollar's slide against the euro and other major currencies boosted commodities including gold and oil, making them less costly to foreign buyers. Shares of natural-resource companies also rose, with Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. (CLF 66.32, +0.05, +0.08%) up 4.9% and Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM 51.26, -0.08, -0.16%) gaining 3.2%
